HARRIS V. STRAWBRIDGE
330 S.W.2d 911 (1959)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a suit to recover title to 189 acres of land.
FACTS: Edward and Ethel Strawbridge were married in 1935. Edward died in 1943. They had
no children and all of his brothers and sisters, along with his father and mother also
predeceased him. There were only descendents of his two sisters left alive. Edward had a
will in 1928 which contained a general revocation clause. This will left his homestead land,
furniture, and furnishings to his sister Jane Blades. Edward also left a 235-acre farm to
Jane in the form of a life estate, then a life estate to named nieces and nephews and the
remainder to a church. On October 20, 1941, Edward executed an instrument that gave to Ethel
land. This suite was a dispute over that deed.
